All sysv services come back with exit code 1 (service <name> start / status / stop)

On an amzn linux server, after a cycle of install - cleanup - reinstall exercises, suddenly the system V service command didn't work any more (such as: service docker start; service sendmail status, service cron stop). It immediately exited with exit code 1, not executing anything, also not logging anything. Running /etc/init.d/docker start and the like worked.

The issue was that the /etc/profile.d/lang.sh script was missing. I had cleaned up too rigorously at some point (I meant to remove another script).

In the script /sbin/service, they source /etc/init.d/functions, which in turn sources /etc/profile.d/lang.sh, which was missing - exit 1, and silence.
